This type of paragraph is likely why our discourse will never improve.

Hoz, you really need to learn some appreciation for the English language.

1) "... he is very sexist and likes to degrade women on his show." As you and others have noted, you don't often watch the show yet are confident enough to know he is *very* sexist. Not just sexist, but very much so. The qualifier is key in this context. Are you sure you wish to use it? Also, you know that he "likes" degrading women? He gains personal pleasure from it? Or do you simply feel he did so that one time you watched the show?

2) "From what I have read he is universally disliked" *Universally* disliked. Not just disliked by a few that may have been brave enough to lend anonymous quotes to the article(s) you read. But *universally*. Everyone. Everywhere. There are people still sending admiring letters to Charles Manson in jail, yet Keith Olbermann is beyond the pale and *universally* disliked.

Ugh.
